Darren Scanlon, of the Celbridge Boys Club, is part of a movement aiming to tackle mental health among men across Ireland

Next Sunday, hundreds of men will hike from Glencullen up to Fairy Castle and back again - all in the name of mental health .

“This idea of Shoulder-to-Shoulder; men are notoriously bad at communicating, but when they are on the hills, shoulder-to-shoulder and walking in the fresh air, they can open up and talk more freely. Scanlon – whose Celbridge Boys Club organises walks every Wednesday evening from the Castletown House gates – is keen to spread the message of next weekend’s hike far and wide.

“The ripple effect, the communities that are affected by this, the families that are devastated, the unanswered questions… It’s about building a community of men who are able to share. “My own head was gone a bit, with my uncle and dealing with a few bits and pieces, and there was this thing of, get out for a walk, get the lads out for a ramble.
